In episode 10, John and Arvin discuss their approach to storytelling specifically for Victory Church's audience. Creatives and skill-specific employees in churches can have a tough time aligning their gifts and talents with the direction and destination of their leaders, but this is a key season in the development of any artist. It's the season of being a "Craftsmen." John and Arvin lay out the imperative nature of this time period in order for an artist to develop without being subverted by the world or made redundant by cliches and tropes.

This episode of the Best Days podcast was recorded live in Tulsa, OK at Victory Church's Midweek service the night before Thanksgiving in 2025. John and Arvin preached on the importance of hope and endurance in the Christian life.

Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin Sepehr spend episode 8 of the Best Days podcast series reminiscing on a lifetime of being pastor's kids in their parents' prayer meetings, the bravery it takes to stay faithfully planted in a church community long-term, and the sort of life that can only be experienced on the other side of submission to God-ordained principles.

In episode 7, John and Arvin dive into Christian upbringing, the importance of knowing when to end something, and the gratitude one should feel to the generation who raised them.

In episode 6, Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin Sepehr discuss the value of approaching busy holiday seasons with the right perspective. The two also discuss Pastor Paul's new series of messages on Jesus and the End Times, the importance of the Church's response to the practical needs of humanity, and the value of having a gentle heart in a world full of chaos.

In episode 5, Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin discuss the way God matures believers who've become familiar with Church and are starting to feel their excitement fade. Using examples from their own lives, both men stress the importance choosing harmony when the opportunity to sow tension and quarreling shows up.
